Motorola follows on years making mid-range smartphones with a device aimed firmly at the flagship category-- the Edge+, a handset promising "speed, power and the ultimate 5G performance."
Based around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 platform, the Edge+ is a 6.7-inch number with a display set at a cinematic 21:9 screen ratio. The "Endless Edge" display wraps nearly 90-degrees around both sides of the device, and handles HDR10+ content and a 90Hz refresh rate. Also found inside the device are 12GB DDR5 RAM, 256GB storage (expandable via microSD card) and a big 5000mAh battery the company claims powers up to 2 full days of use on a single charge. The battery offers both wired and wireless charging, and can even charge other devices through wireless power sharing. The body is IP54 water-repellent, and includes a 3.5mm jack together with a pair of Waves-tuned speakers.
Motorola is also pushing the camera capabilities of the Edge+, with the back featuring a three-camera array consisting of a 108MP main sensor with quad pixel technology for more light sensitivity, an 8MP sensor with a telephoto lens and a wide-angle 16MP lens able to do do macro shots. A time of flight is also included, while the front carries a 25MP quad pixel selfie shooter. The device also records up to 30fps UHD or 60/30fps HD video with either the main or ultra-wide cameras, or up to 30fps HD video with the telephoto camera.
In the case customers want a more affordable, if lower-specced, Motorola smartphone, the company offers the Edge-- a similar 5G handset featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor, 4500mAh battery and a triple-camera system consisting of a 64MP main lens, 16MP ultra-wide lens with macro vision, and an 8 MP telephoto lens, together with the same 6.7-inch Endless Edge display and Waves-tuned speakers.
The Edge+ and Edge are available in European markets from May 2020.
